France head to this game after putting three past Wales in what turned to be a comfortable affair for them. Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann, and Ousmane Dembélé were all on target as Karim Benzema made his first appearance in about six years with the team.
For the upcoming match in the capital city, there will be up to 5,000 fans allowed inside the Stade de France, which will help to create an atmosphere and will also serve as motivation for Les Bleus before they fully focus onEuro 2020.
Meanwhile, Bulgaria will travel to Paris after suffering a dramatic defeat at the hands of Russia last Saturday. Before that, Petrov’s side was also unable to beat Slovakia as both shared the points in a 1-1 draw. It hasn’t been quite the expected beginning for the coach’s tenure, and the next task seems even harder.
